ザ フィジー オーキッド(The Fiji Orchid)

小而美的酒店。到處都是鮮蘭花的香氣。 坐落在叢林中，早晨在鳥鳴中醒來，夜晚看到了銀河。 非常愜意放鬆，治癒心靈。

We stayed at The Fiji Orchid enroute to NZ for a stopover during a long flight and again on the way home, and it meet all our needs. The boutique hotel with only 6 Bures allowed for a very private and relaxing stay. The biggest win was the kind and attentive staff. Deepika the Manager was a real pleasure to work with. We very much appreciated the rides with Kesho. We also had the pleasure of joining them on Market day in Lautoka which was a great experience. Having access to Raymond's restaurant onsite for our meals was very convenient, They accommodated our food allergies including a wonderful gluten free bread and baba ganoush which was delicious. Asenaca was very sweet and worked very hard to ensure we had everything we needed during our visits.

The Fiji Orchid was a great place to stay. Ledge and all the staff were amazing. They even made me acake and sang to me on my birthday. They took care of all our outings and transportation. Top notch staff and the grounds were beautiful.

Before embarking on a long trip to Australia, I knew I would need someplace to decompress; to allow me to relax after months of stressful work. I decided to skip the busy resorts in Fiji (too many people) and searched for a smaller property. The Fiji Orchid fit my needs and I booked. What a fantastic choice I made! The grounds are lush, beautiful and well kept. The individual bungalow I booked is massive, clean and extremely comfortable. It was like a dream The staff are kind and attentive. Always with a smile and a warm greeting. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with the owners; we struck up a nice friendship and I was able to learn so much about them, their business and the island. I intend to stay in contact with these lovely people I also intend to explore the South Pacific and I now have a base from which to do so. I will definitely be re-visiting The Fiji Orchid, before and/or after, any adventures I have in Oceania.

5 star prices, 3 star quality. Our bure was lovely, but not 5 star. The overall appearance was worn. The mosquito Net was cheap and had numerous holes. The garbage can in the bathroom was dented and rusty, the canvas roof was filthy…all not a big deal but when they are charging $720 FJ per night, it should be pristine. We had booked the Fiji Orchid for two nights to celebrate my 65th birthday, which was to be the second night. This was a highlight of our trip to Fiji. We planned on having my birthday dinner at the Orchid, after eating there our first night, we changed our plan. I ordered the consume ($26) it was a small serving with a few veggies in it, tasteless and bland. I ordered the creamy curried prawns as my main ($40) the prawns (several small prawns or large shrimp) were over cooked and tough. And they were not in a curry sauce, rather a sweet seafood like sauce. The exact sauce was served as a condiment at the Boatshed where we ended up for my birthday dinner.(and had an excellent meal) The worst part of the evening was the service. I realize that our server was “in training”, she was lovely, but over anxious. She hovered, walked by, constantly checking on our progress and ready to whisk away items finished with. Mid meal I put down my fork to take a sip of my drink, she was immediately there asking if I was done. It was not a relaxing meal, I left the meal feeling stressed and unhappy with the food and service. I told my husband, I will not go back for my birthday dinner!

As we left Auckland and boarded our Fiji Airways flights (which was great by the way) to Fiji they announced over the tannoy "your journey to paradise begins..." and do you know what, they really weren't wrong. The flight was excellent, our flight arrived on time but despite a delay getting through customs, security and luggage pick-up our driver from the hotel, Kesho, was waiting for us. And that's where our experience really began with The Fiji Orchard. We had a very comfortable drive to the hotel, a transfer of about 35 to 40 minutes in the traffic, in a very comfortable and spacious almost new Toyota Land cruiser. What we didn't realise was that the Fiji Orchid was once the holiday home of Raymond Burr, star of Perry Mason and Ironside, programmes from the 1960s & 1970s. Raymond Burr loved orchids just as much as he loved Fiji, hence the name of the hotel and the restaurant, Raymond's. Upon our arrival at the hotel, 4 or 5 members of staff were waiting to greet us. This was really special, including Ledge who checked us in, a really straight forward, relaxing and easy experience. Everyone was so very happy, in fact everyone that we met was so happy. We felt really welcome from the moment that we arrived. We've read reviews from guests who have criticised the welcome and the check-in process, which is ridiculous, it was lovely. Our bags were taken to our bure whilst we finished our welcome drinks, before we were walked to our bure. There are only 6 bures, so a maximum of six guests. The bures are well spread out, each one back onto its own little bit of the rain forest. Our bure was lovely. The main area is separated into two areas, the bedroom and lounge with seating. There's a small desk and chair. Then theiugh to the back of the bure there's the shower room, with wash-hand basin, glass toilet and glass shower cubicles. It was really invigorating to shower looking out onto the rain forest. There was nothing that we didn't like about our stay at The Fiji Orchid, we felt at home and on holiday very quickly. Everyone knew our names the next time we saw them. We ate every evening in Raymond's, enjoying each and every meal. We also had some snacks and drinks by the pool, which was lovely. Everything is spread out so at no time did we feel cramped or that the hotel was busy. We'd really like to thank Ledge, Kesho, Gordon, Imma, Lo, Deepika (who we contacted before our stay, and was most helpful) Ben and the whole family. They really made our stay so special. Kesho organised our day out for us and when we needed some help on our last day they went the extra mile to help us. We'd also like to thank Ali, a local taxi driver, who also took us into Nadi on our final day. Like everyone at The Fiji Orchid, he was great. Would we go back, absolutely. Was our 5 night stay long enough, definitely not. We'd give them a higher rating if we could. Thank you 👍. Please check out all of the photos that I've added 📷.

The Fiji Orchid is charming, with just six well appointed tented bungalows in a tropical garden. The pool is delightful, food delicious, and everything clean and well maintained. The location is a peaceful spot away from the bustle of Nadi. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the lovely manager Dipica looks after everything really well. Driver Kesho took us on a couple of day trips. We had a wonderful relaxing 5 days here and highly recommend it.

Thinking this might be my only opportunity to visit Fiji, I wanted it to be perfect in every way. I spent days - weeks - scouring the website of every hotel and resort, looking for the best in quality, affordability, tranquility, and exclusiveness. My time was well spent, as I found it all at the Fiji Orchid. Due to Covid, I haven’t seen my mother in 3 years. We decided to reunite in Fiji. It was a perfect choice for a mother/daughter combo, but I also wish I had taken my honeymoon here. The resort is small and intimate - private and romantic - everything we wanted. Our time was limited, so I was delighted that this resort was just 20 minutes from the airport. Our driver was waiting for us, and we were at the pool within half an hour. The grounds were meticulously cared for, and our room was spotless. Whether sitting poolside being served drinks, eating fresh fruit and vegetables out of the garden, or lounging in the old-world bar area, guests are constantly pampered by every employee. From the minute the staff greets you with a drink in hand to the moment they hug you goodbye, you’ll enjoy every minute of this tropical oasis. I’m glad I didn’t book an expensive tour to the Saweni Mud Bath with an outside company. Kesho, the full-time driver of the Orchid, took us in his beautiful vehicle, personally introduced us to the host there, and waited for us. He then took us to the market in Nadi and bought us our first drink of fresh Kava. He walked us to a local restaurant so we could try some authentic Fiji cuisine and finally escorted us to some great shopping places. We felt like princesses. Finally, we booked our mandatory Covid test at First Landing Resort nearby. We thought we might have dinner there after our test. We pre-paid and confirmed the booking, and the driver from the Orchid graciously drove us there. When we arrived, we discovered that First Landing had forgotten about our appointment and sent the nurse home. They told us to come back another day. We asked for a taxi, and they sent us home (for a $15 fee) in the employee transfer van (with broken windows and no seat belts). Not a pleasant experience. The next day, when the lovely owner of the Fiji Orchid heard this story, she pulled her car up and personally drove us to the hotel. She walked us to the nurse’s station, waited for us while we took our Covid tests, and then drove us back to the Orchid. Can you imagine that happening anywhere else? The owner is accessible and accommodating; if anything is less than perfect, she will tend to it immediately. She loves her staff, and it is clear they love her. It creates a very happy environment that adds to the positive vibe of the resort. In closing, this place is not for everyone. There is no TV, and Wi-Fi is only in your room. If that’s what you want on vacation, go somewhere else. If you are afraid of nature (frogs or butterflies), again, not for you. It’s not a place to party or have a wild time - it’s a place to rejuvenate, connec

The property is located in the middle of nowhere. There is a dirt road of about a mine leading to the property from the regular road with cows walking down that dirt road. The nearby beach is dirty and you still have to walk by the same dirt road to get to that beach. The beach that no one even uses because of its location and poor condition. The breakfast included in the rate is very limited. You can just get the same 2 eggs (still can choose how they are cooked), some fruit, limited coffee/tea, some bread. Very poor! Nothing more for free. You can get anything else for the extra price. It cannot be even compared to the regular breakfast buffet in normal hotels… very poor. The lunch and dinner is only available on the property (very limited and still pricy). There are no shops or any attractions nearby so if you don’t rent a car - you are stuck in the dusty jungle with absolutely nothing to do. The tour operators don t offer pick ups from this place. The pool doesn’t look clean at all. The dirt/grovel road is very close to the property so you can hear the cars passing by even at night and you get all the dust prom the road. The WiFi is in the room only! No cellular coverage on the territory. NO TV at all!!! I moved from that hotel on the second day of my stay to the Sheraton and saved my holiday by doing that! Asked the property to get some money back but never got anything! Really disappointed!!! It’s the first time I had to run from the hotel ASAP.
